    People would debate weather Calzaghe's a top ten ATG Brit. Only an insane fanboy or troll would rank Calzage higher than Duran as an ATG.

    There's no debating the weather, the sky clearly shows that Joe is miles ahead of Lewis, Buchanan, et al.

    How many losses did Duran rack up? Calzaghe was unbeatable, only a scummy S. American or butthurt yank would deny Joe's rightful place well above Roberto.

    Calzaghe is not a top 5 ATG brit. He fought in a average era and has a record mostly full of garbage. I wouldn't put him in the top ten.
    Calzaghe isn't even the greatest Welsh boxer. Wilde, Driscoll and Welsh are greater.

    Im not even going there with Duran. If your not trolling you need to scrub up on your boxing knowledge. Calzaghe is a million miles away from the greatness of Duran, in achievements and skill.

    How can he be the best? If that was the case he'd of beaten hagler, hearns, ray leanord... he lost. He beat lots of very good fighters, is he an ATG? sure... the best since ray robinson.. no.

    Check again... 2-1 leanord. Also, watch the first fight, leanord fought his fight, which was stupid, he learn his lesson and beat him twice.

    Surely then, people cannot claim a guy 'who couldn't be arsed' is the best since SRR?? Theres no logic to that.

    I'm British you clown. It's debatable weather Durans the best since Ray Robinson but i dont think you'll find many backing you on your claim Calzaghe's greater than Duran :rofl

    Yeah your right. i always forget about the 3rd fight :good.
    Duran was way past it when they had the rubber match though. Mind you, he had just sparked Barkley the fight before.

    Aww, just 'British'? You must be an anti-Welsh English wanker then.

    Again with the weather, are you a weatherman?

    No worries, I've since realised what you think means shite.
